Walmart recently put out a new policy that allows for overage. Here's what I noticed on my trip today.I did a transaction which included:2x Tide Travel $0.97used $1/11x Purex trial $0.97used $3/13x Gain @ $1.87used $3/11x Gain @ $4.33used $3/11x Downy Wrinkle Release trial $1.48used $1/1here's what happened:1 Tide beeped for valid coupon amount (VCA), 1 said item not in transaction (what the cashier said the computer told her, I couldn't see that one)Purex beeped for VCA2x Gain scanned2x Gain said items not in transactionDowny scanned (no overage on that one)I had a nice cashier who wasn't upset at all when I asked her to get a manager. Manager came over and told her to enter the ones it wasn't taking it manually as a vendor coupon (she didn't know how, but he showed her). He was nice as well, no one mentioned the new policy and I didn't ask bc DS 10 months was being psycho :)

Recently there was a $3/2 Pedia Care products printable. I wanted to use the coupon at Walgreens to get overage with this weeks in ad coupon. I messed up because the more expensive 1 oz looks exactly like the .5 oz, so be careful!

Here's what I got:

3x Pedia Care infant pain reliever .5 oz @ $5.99

1x Pedia Care infant pain reliever 1 oz @ $9.99

Always Pantiliners $2.99

Cadbury egg $0.59 (filler)

used:

2x $3/2 Pedia Care IP

1 Always $1/1 from home mailer

in ad Q for $5 off each Pedia Care (took off $20)

$3 RR from last week Baby Magic

= $1.54 + tax

got back a $2 RR from Always

If I'd gotten the correct Pedia Care I would not have had to use my RR, OOP would have been $0.54 and I would have gotten the $2 RR.
